Great School, has great oppurtunities
Overall 4.6
The teachers are amazing. I fell in love with the study spaces in the library, Comfortable and quiet.The only thing I didn't like, there's no cafeteria. However they have random food trucks visit the campus. There's also places to eat near by if you have a car.
Overall 4.5
This school is a great place to learn from. The professors are well diverse, knowledgeable, professional, and a great source to learn from. The location is great, the learning support team is AMAZING, and the school has a lot of class options to choose from. I've enjoyed every learning experience endured at CTC.

Fall 2023 - This college is one of the better colleges I have ever attended. The location can be a slight hassle navigating through neighboring traffic however the campus is always clean, resourceful, and my program leaders are very hands on and thorough.

I absolutely love this school. All my dealings with the instructors here have been pretty well great. I have also worked hard to get to where I am. The instructors for the most part has been helpful

I love this school. The teachers I've had in my hybrid courses were amazing. Advisor I had was amazing. I'd take my classes and go to the library to study and feel totally at peace there. I recommend it to anyone looking for a technical school.

The teachers here really don’t care about your success. I am soooo glad to be done here. I’ll be continuing my education elsewhere.

For a college, this place sure has a lot of high school kids. I’m 23 and I feel out of place because I’m in class with 17 and 18 year olds. The instructors just give out passing grades because as one told me, “I’ll get fired if I don’t”. Most classes are online because I think it’s easier to pass by doing nothing.

Something is weird at the school. I took only 3 classes, and never finished my program. Two semesters later I got a certificate in the mail from the college. I never graduated but they gave me some silly certificate that means nothing.
Overall 1.5
Students are passed based on completion of assignments in many classes. Grade inflation lives here. Class times are dedicated to signing us up for more classes. AI plagiarizing is something that is not frowned upon. Instructors don’t check for AI papers. If you want to learn, find another place.
Overall 1.5
The professors are very nice. The classes also are standard. There is no socialization, class group chats, or clubs. It is a very terrible experience and can feel extremely lonely. There also are no food options on campus that other community colleges offer. They only have vending machines sadly. It almost feels like being stuck in high school.
Overall 1.5
Enrollment has dropped so the college is in a panic. Teachers are forced to pass students. Students dont attend class but still pass. Go here if you have to. Go somewhere else to learn.
Overall 1.5
Over the past two years, the students quality of work has diminished. A lot. Most dont attend class, turn in no work at all or submit work thats so below standards the administrators are forcing instructors to pass them. Its a farce. Its not a college. Its adult daycare.
Overall 1.6
Dont go here. Trying to do my pre-reqs for nursing. Advisors are rude and stupid. Teachers dont help they read off of slide shows and just expect you to get it on the test. We did a paper test for Biology. Literally so old school, took our bookbags and phones and we had scan-trons. If your gonna take science classes go to another school.

Marietta campus is probably the worst besides maybe the one in Paulding. The teachers don't care save maybe a few. Blackboard is almost always down. The facilities are dirty and unkept. I attended this school as a dual enrollment student, and that's the only good thing about it. But now that it's all said and done, I wish I went to KSU instead.
Overall 1.6
It's really a diploma mill. I took several classes where I just turned stuff in without doing any actual real work and got all A's. If you want some "college credit," go here. The professors have to pass so many student--like in high school, so many of them just pass you without thinking about it.
